Graduation Requirements
- To fulfill the requirements for a mathematics minor, students must achieve a minimum GPA of 2.4 for all attempted work in the seven mathematics courses required for the mathematics minor and have no course grade lower than "C" in any of the seven mathematics courses required for the mathematics minor (substitutions may be granted for some elective courses).
NOTE: The 6-credit pairs of courses, MATH 3210 Complex Variables and MATH 3400 Partial Differential Equations, or MATH 4610 Introduction to Numerical Analysis I and MATH 4620 Introduction to Numerical Analysis II, are recommended for students pursuing majors in the physical sciences, engineering, or computer science. Another recommended pair for computer science majors is MATH 3300 Foundations of Abstract Algebra and MATH 4340 Introduction to Number Theory.
